Bioshock-esque DLC

Post » Sat Feb 06, 2016 10:56 pm

We've all seen the underwater stuff and know they had some kind of harpoon gun basically in the game that didn't make it. If we have to go underwater, I'd really like to experience an underwater lab or facility of some kind, ideally something a little reminiscent of Bioshock. Having a few set piece moments in the DLC would be great as well. For instance, maybe there is some kind of mutated shark that you see swimming by outside that makes an appearance halfway through the lab for an epic fight. Granted, I don't know how you fight a shark when you can't use weapons in combat, but maybe it could be a squid and they could channel some 20k leagues under the sea, eh?



I would personally appreciate if the whole thing could be tied back to the Institute, such as an experiment they green lit that didn't quite pan out and you just now get access to a distress beacon. It could have been an attempt at an underwater city to survive the nuclear disaster or just to see if it could be done. I feel like the hidden nature of the place would fit their M.O., but if it is completely untied to the events of the main story, that is fine as well.



Anyone have anything to add or interested in this?

Idea has been kicked around *often*. It'd actually give some use to the parts of the map that are currently under utilized.

This could happen.I think the idea of an underwater city (like rapture) could tie into the story well.Mabye it could be an underwater vault or more of an area like diamond city,personally I would prefer the diamond city area style,as we only got 1 or 2 I would like to see submarines and ship wrecks and all but I think a ninety six style bio shock-sequel dlc could actually happen

I've got two or three DLC-settings I'd like to see and something underwater is one of them.


It would be nice if the DLC added diving suit pieces to the Power Armor frame.


EDIT: And underwater thrusters or other method of movement.

I figured! I meant to flesh out my original comments more. Work/life has been crazy lately.






I think underwater PA is a must with this idea. That said, I don't think underwater combat will ever be a thing. It seems like that would be too much effort for them to put in to change the base game. Assuming they don't give us the harpoon gun I guess. I would kill to have some bulky PA that made me look like Nautilus from League of Legends.
